[Verse 1]
Phone face down
Screen still glowing in the dark
Half-read texts
You been playing with my heart
Lipstick stain
On a cup by the kitchen sink
Heart in my hand
And it’s heavier than I think
I been quiet
Chewing on the words I choke
Sleep so light
Every creak feels like a ghost
You say “relax”
But your eyes don’t match your tone
Every secret
Got me feeling less at home
[Chorus]
You a ghost in my throat
Can’t talk, can’t breathe, can’t let you go (nah)
Every word that I wrote
Burned holes straight through my soul
You a ghost in my throat
Still haunt each room you never owned
Say you love me, then you vanish like smoke
You, you a ghost in my throat
[Verse 2]
Cold blue light
Clock says 3 on the nightstand
Scroll too deep
Find a name I don’t understand
New perfume
You don’t know that I recognize
Same excuse
But your pupils giving lies
I replay fights
Like a movie on repeat
Every “sorry”
Sounding cheaper every week
I bite back tears
So you never see me break
You talk trust
But your stories sound fake
[Chorus]
You a ghost in my throat
Can’t talk, can’t breathe, can’t let you go (let you go)
Every word that I wrote
Burned holes straight through my soul
You a ghost in my throat
Still haunt each room you never owned (never owned)
Say you love me, then you vanish like smoke
You, you a ghost in my throat (in my throat)
